So, the time has come to update your company headshots.
Where to begin?
We know that this process can be tedious and overwhelming. See below for three tips on how to effectively and efficiently organize your company headshots.
1. GIVE YOUR TEAM PLENTY OF NOTICE
Unless you have no choice, it is ideal to schedule your company headshots at least four weeks in advance. It can be very nerve-wrecking to have a headshot taken, especially a professional one. Providing advanced notice will maximize your team’s prep time and minimize their stress level.
2. CREATE A SCHEDULE
Having specific appointment times for each team member is key. This allows the photographer and the employees dedicated time for their company headshots session, and keeps the process running smoothly.
3. MAINTAIN COMMUNICATION
Keep those phone lines open! Stay in contact with your team, as well as the photographer. Company headshots are an important component of the visual representation and overall message of the team. The goal is for the team members to look professional and polished, while also contributing to the company’s image as a whole. Clear and direct communication between all parties is the backbone for making the magic happen.
~*~ BONUS TIP ~*~
Have fun with it! Relax and trust your photographer’s eye and expertise. Let them draw out and highlight your features that really make you POP. While it is a professional image, you still want your individual self to shine through!
